DescriptionIntelligent Motion Systems IMS MDrivePlus Series Integrated Motor and DriverThe MDrivePlus Speed Control offers the system designer low cost, intelligent velocity control integrated with a NEMA 17 or NEMA 23 high torque brushless motor and a +12 to +48 volt (Size 17) or a +12 to +75 volt (Size 23) microstepping driver.The MDrivePlus Speed Control features a digital oscillator for accurate velocity control with an output frequency of up to 5 Megahertz. Output frequency will vary with the signal applied to the speed control input and can be limited by the amount specified by the Maximum Velocity parameter.Speed can be adjusted using three modes of operation: voltage, current and PWM. The ranges are 0 to +5 volts and 0 to +10 volts in voltage mode, 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA in current mode, and 15 to 25 kHz in PWM mode. This allows the MDrivePlus Speed Control to be driven by a wide variety of sensors and control devices.There are two basic methods for controlling the velocity: bidirectional and unidirectional. By moving the center point, both speed and direction are controlled by a potentiometer or joystick. By setting the center point to zero or the lower end of the potentiometer, only velocity is controlled by the speed control input; direction is controlled by a separate digital input.The MDrivePlus Speed Control has 18 setup parameters, which may be configured using the supplied IMS Analog Speed Control GUI, or a user-developed front-end communicating over SPI. The setup parameters enable the user to configure all MDrive operational parameters which are stored in nonvolatile memory.The versatile, compact MDrivePlus Speed Control is available in multiple configurations to fit various system needs. Rotary motor versions come in three lengths and may include an optical encoder, control knob, planetary gearbox or linear slide. Interface connections are accomplished using either a 7 position pluggable terminal strip or 12.0” (30.5cm) flying leads.
